Preview: Chris Haas and Sarah Joncas at Last Rites Gallery

On December 8, Last Rites Gallery in New York will debut two solo shows, Chris Haas‘ “Waking the Dead” and Sarah Joncas‘ “Taking Over.” Working with animal skulls collected from all over the world, Haas creates haunting, baroque sculptures. The artist uses the skull as his foundation, reworking the natural material to create otherworldly creatures with new life and purpose. Sarah Joncas’ new paintings in “Taking Over” focus on solitary female figures, using symbols of the occult to apprehend dark themes. Take a look at our preview courtesy of Last Rites Gallery below.
